Behind the Veil
by | Micah Van Huss, Southwest Radion Bible Church
Throughout
history, reports of unidentified flying objects have
been documented, often described as mysterious lights
or strange objects in the sky. In his work The War of
the Jews, Flavius Josephus records that around the year
A.D. 70, there were sightings of chariots flying through
the clouds. Ancient Hindu texts contain descriptions
of flying chariots or vehicles used by both gods and
warriors.
In Scripture, Ezekiel
describes a dazzling, otherworldly “wheel within
a wheel” surrounded by radiant light and accompanied
by beings with four faces, moving with an intelligence
that defies earthly comprehension.
I could list dozens more
examples of UFOs in ancient writings, but you get the
point: Ancient sightings illustrate that the phenomenon
of UFOs is far from a modern invention.
These sightings, spanning
millennia and cultures, continue to intrigue researchers
and enthusiasts, blending folklore, science and the
unknown into the enduring mystery of UFO phenomena.
There’s no question
that UFOs have and do exist. The real question is: What
are they and who’s piloting them? Additional curiosities
include: Is Christianity compatible with Ufology and
the existence of extraterrestrial life? Are humans created
by God or a product of alien experimentation? Is there
a link between alien abductions and religious experiences?
The recent hearings in
the U.S. Congress on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs)
have brought the otherworldly mysteries of the skies
under public scrutiny. High-ranking officials, military
personnel and whistleblowers have testified to encounters
with objects defying the laws of physics, raising profound
questions about national security, advanced technology
and the possibility of non-human intelligence. Are these
phenomena the work of foreign adversaries, secret military
projects or something far more enigmatic?
In 1947, rancher Mac Brazel
found strange debris resembling a crashed aircraft near
Roswell, N.M. This sparked one of the most famous cases
in UFO history – the Roswell incident. It was
initially reported by the military as the recovery of
a “flying disc,” but the narrative quickly
changed to a weather balloon explanation, fueling conspiracy
theories.
While the 1947 Roswell
incident is an intriguing modern encounter, UFOs aren’t
a modern phenomenon at all. History records strange
flying objects thousands of years ago.
Alexander the Great reportedly
encountered mysterious flying objects during his military
campaigns. In 329 B.C., as his army crossed a river
in India, flying “silver shields” were said
to dive aggressively at his troops, causing chaos among
men and elephants alike. Another story claims that during
the siege of Tyre in 332 B.C., strange flying objects
assisted Alexander by destroying parts of the city walls
with beams of light.
The Hindu texts, such
as the Vedas and Mahabharata, describe advanced flying
machines known as vimanas. These vehicles are depicted
as capable of traversing vast distances through the
sky, the sea and even interplanetary space. Descriptions
of vimanas include details of their construction, propulsion
systems and weaponry, suggesting highly advanced technology.
“The Vimana that
resembles the Sun… that aerial and excellent Vimana
going everywhere at will… that chariot resembling
a bright cloud in the sky… and the King got in,
and the excellent chariot at the command of the Raghira,
rose up into the higher atmosphere,” said Ramayana,
circa 600 B.C.
While traditional scholars
view these texts as mythological, the words recorded
are as real as you and I. It’s astonishing that
3,500-year-old words describe such things. As I like
to say, there’s a whole lot more truth to our
mythologies than most people will admit.
While UFO sightings often
involve distant and enigmatic objects traversing the
skies, there are stories that bridge the gap between
passive observation and active interaction, raising
unsettling questions about the motives and intentions
of the beings behind these unexplained phenomena. Could
UFOs in the sky merely be the prelude to deeper, more
sinister experiences of alien abduction?
While the ancients recorded
UFO sightings, alien abductions are a relatively recent
phenomenon. Almost 4 million Americans claim to have
been abducted by aliens. That’s more than one
out of 100 people.
The topic of abductions
has serious implications for humanity’s salvation
through Jesus Christ. Through the studies of alien abductees,
hundreds of encounters have been documented where the
name of Jesus was invoked, instantly stopping these
encounters. Victims would instantly wake up in their
beds.
“Your body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have
of God, and ye are not your own?” says 1 Corinthians
6:19.
For all human history,
aliens and UFOs were recorded as spiritual entities.
It wasn’t until the dropping of the atomic bomb
80 years ago that naturalism popularized the idea that
UFOs are anything other than entities from the spirit
realm.
Contrary to popular belief,
not only is there nothing in the Bible that orients
these spiritual beings to other planets, but there’s
nothing in any ancient text that does so, either.
A lot of people go through
life thinking that science has it figured out –
that there are no anomalies – that nothing transcends
the physical world. But the world is a lot stranger
than we think it is. People will say the Bible doesn’t
mention aliens. If aliens show up, there goes the Bible
out the window.
If aliens are out there,
then humans aren’t unique. But we are. We are
God’s image-bearers. It means a lot more than
that we just look like Him. We humans represent YHWH
to the creation.
We are creatures of free
will. God placed the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and
Evil in front of Adam and Eve. It was their choice to
obey God or not.
Through our actions, we
reflect His nature and essence. Being made in the image
of God means that we carry the responsibility to reflect
His love, justice and mercy in the world around us.
It empowers us to cultivate relationships and steward
His creation.
Moreover, the image of
God within us calls us to honor and respect one another
as fellow bearers of that image. It invites us to pursue
a life characterized by compassion, empathy and service.
Racism would not exist if humanity were able to embrace
and act on this concept. This concept should not be
constrained to how we treat people at church only on
Sundays, but every day of our week, wherever we are.
None of us are perfect in these goals but there was
one – Jesus Christ – God embodied in our
realm.
Some claim that Jesus
was nothing more than an enlightened human and that
He was here to bring about apotheosis, teaching us how
to ascend into godhood.
The messaging that most
people get from aliens is that Jesus is nothing special.
But in their deception, they expose themselves. Why
is it that only Jesus is targeted in this way? They
never claim that Buddha or Mohammed are something other
than their religions claim. Their names are never used
as a cuss word.
Lucifer wants to redefine
the terminology. He wants God redefined as a transcendent
extraterrestrial. With aliens, we have the space of
heaven without the God of the Bible. Humanity has no
accountability, no sin. Christians get to keep their
Bibles, and the Truth suddenly becomes something different.
Scripture tells us that
there is a veil between the spiritual and physical realms.
“For now we see
through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now
I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I
am known” (1 Corinthians 13:12).
Here, Paul is describing
our understanding of spiritual things. Trying to see
into the spiritual realm is like trying to look through
a dim metal mirror – the kind they had in those
days.
The holographic principle
is a theoretical concept in physics suggesting that
all the information contained within a three-dimensional
space can be encoded on a two-dimensional surface that
bounds it. This idea, often applied to black holes and
the universe itself, implies that our reality might
function like a hologram, with the full depth of our
experience derived from a lower-dimensional framework.
If you were to move your
hand over a piece of paper, your shadow would cross
it. If cartoon characters were real and living in their
two-dimensional world on that paper, lacking the capacity
to perceive depth, they might notice a shadow or a distortion
on their plane, an indirect effect of your presence.
To these cartoon characters,
this shadow would be mysterious and inexplicable within
their two-dimensional framework. They might theorize
about its nature or wonder about its source, without
ever understanding the true reality of your three-dimensional
existence.
The spiritual realm is
likely a different dimension. When angels or demons
interact with our three-dimensional world, we might
only perceive “shadows” or echoes of higher
dimensions, leaving us with limited understanding of
the greater reality beyond our senses.
The Bible portrays the
veil between the spiritual and physical realms as a
thin but significant barrier, separating God’s
divine presence and the heavenly realities from the
human earthly existence. In the Old Testament, this
concept is symbolized by the veil in the Tabernacle
and later the Temple, which divided the Holy Place from
the Holy of Holies, where God’s presence dwelled
(Exodus 26:33). Human access to this realm was restricted,
emphasizing God’s holiness and humanity’s
sinfulness.
In the New Testament,
the tearing of the Temple veil at the moment of Jesus’
death (Matthew 27:51) symbolizes the removal of this
barrier, granting believers direct access to God through
Christ.
Throughout Scripture,
there are moments where the veil is briefly lifted,
such as Jacob’s vision of a heavenly ladder (Genesis
28:12), Elisha’s servant seeing angelic armies
(2 Kings 6:17) and John’s apocalyptic vision in
Revelation. These glimpses reveal that the spiritual
realm is close and active, though often hidden from
human perception.
Are aliens physical beings
from another planet? While movies make intergalactic
travel seem realistic, it’s really impossible
– for now. If we could achieve the speed of light,
it would take a craft two million years to travel from
our galaxy (the Milky Way) to the next nearest one,
which is Andromeda. At the speed of light, one grain
of sand hitting the hull of a spacecraft would equal
several hundred tons of TNT.
While it’s possible
that aliens are physical beings from another planet,
it’s more likely that the things we’re seeing
in the skies and in congressional hearings are our neighbors.
If ETs exist, they’re
not in the equation in Genesis. God doesn’t have
to tell us everything He has ever done or will do. It
doesn’t matter if it’s in the Bible or not.
The Bible is God’s Word… to us, His creation
is here on Earth.
God created intelligent
beings in the physical world and God created intelligent
beings in the spiritual world. Aliens are beings who
show up in flesh bodies – just like entities in
Scripture.
As the Watchers did in
Genesis, will spiritual beings once again infiltrate
the human genome? Jesus Himself says in Matthew 24,
as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the
coming of the Son of Man. The last thing we see before
God’s kingdom comes back to Earth in Nebuchadnezzar’s
dream is feet of iron mixed with clay.
“Then was the secret
revealed unto Daniel… And whereas thou sawest
iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves
with the seed of men…” (Daniel 2:19, 43)
Are experiences of aliens
performing reproductive experimentation figments of
the imagination for millions of Americans, or is Scripture
revealing its prophecies before the return of the King?
The line between the spiritual
and physical world remains an enigma, with Elohim operating
in ways that defy human understanding. They move unseen,
influencing hearts, minds and events. Their presence
is visible through the veil darkly, reminding us that
the forces beyond our sight are neither bound by time
nor space.
As we live the lives that
God has given us, we must wonder: How often do we unknowingly
walk among them, in the middle of an eternal struggle
between God’s light and the enemies shadow?

7 Actions That NATO Countries
Are Taking Which Indicate That Something Really Big
Is Coming
March 20, 2025 by Michael Snyder
If
peace is on the way, why are they feverishly preparing
for World War III? It appears to me that NATO countries
are convinced that something really big is coming. Is
there something that they know that they aren’t
telling the rest of us? As I discussed yesterday, things
in the Middle East are really heating up, and the conflict
in Ukraine has reached a very dangerous stage. If negotiations
with Russia fail, both sides are likely to significantly
escalate matters in a desperate attempt to win the war,
and the Russians could come to the conclusion that a
final showdown with NATO has begun. We do not want the
Russians to view the conflict in Ukraine in those terms,
because they are already extremely paranoid and it wouldn’t
take much to push them over the edge. Unfortunately,
NATO countries continue to do things that will raise
tensions instead of easing them. The following are 7
actions that NATO countries are taking which indicate
that something really big is coming…
#1 France is getting ready
to distribute a 20 page survival manual that instructs
citizens what to do if a full-blown war erupts…
France is the latest country
set to issue an invasion survival how-to guide for its
citizens.
The 20-page booklet will
give advice to French civilians on how to defend the
republic in the face of an invasion by signing up to
reserve units or local defence efforts.
It will also have tips
on how to create a survival kit with essentials including
six litres of water, canned food, batteries, and basic
medical supplies.
#2 The French government
is also telling their citizens to leave Iran “immediately”…
French authorities on
Thursday requested its citizens to immediately leave
the territory of Iran.
The French Foreign Ministry
has issued a warning to its citizens amid the release
of one of its nationals who had been imprisoned in Iran
for over 880 days.
#3 It is being reported
that military planners in the UK have ordered special
forces units to get ready to be sent to Ukraine…
Special Forces units were
told to prepare for mobilisation to Ukraine by military
planners tasked with readying forces by the Cabinet
Office, according to two military sources with knowledge
of the directive.
The command centre for
UK military planning, the Permanent Joint Headquarters
(PJHQ), was sent directives last week to begin the process
for the deployment of personnel and resources.
The orders, which also
applied to Special Forces reservists, put personnel
on standby in order to ensure military equipment is
in working order before receiving a notice to mobilise
to Ukraine.
#4 Turkey has announced
that it would also be willing to deploy troops to Ukraine
“if needed”…
Turkey would be ready
to deploy troops to Ukraine as part of a broader peacekeeping
mission if needed, a Turkish defence ministry source
said on Thursday.
“The issue of contributing
to a mission … will be evaluated with all relevant
parties if deemed necessary for the establishment of
regional stability and peace,” the source said.
The Russians have already
stated that they will never accept NATO troops on Ukrainian
soil under any circumstances.
So why are these nations
preparing to send troops anyway?
#5 Poland is preparing
for a showdown with Russia by “conscripting every
adult male for military training”…
Warsaw is preparing to
face down any invasion by Vladimir Putin by conscripting
every adult male for military training.
But the Eastern European
nation also wants nukes and President Andrzej Duda has
now said the US could send some of its arsenal to his
country.
#6 The Baltic states are
jointly constructing a massive defense line that includes
six hundred bunkers, tank ditches, dragon’s teeth
and rocket systems…
The Baltics are building
a joint defence line on their border with Russia that
will have some six-hundred bunkers across each border.
It will also include tank
ditches, forests, dragon’s teeth, hedgehogs, and
rocket systems.
Poland and the Baltics
have also withdrawn an international treaty banning
anti-personnel landmines as they prepare to stop an
advancing Russian army in its tracks.
#7 In a letter that was
delivered to the Iranians, Donald Trump has given Iran
only two months to reach a peace agreement…
President Donald Trump
has given Iran a two-month deadline to reach a new nuclear
agreement, according to a report by Axios.
A letter sent earlier
this month to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
warned of consequences if Tehran continued its nuclear
program while also offering renewed talks. The message,
described as uncompromising, made clear that prolonged
negotiations were not an option.
According to Axios, it
“isn’t clear whether the two-month clock
begins from the time the letter was delivered or from
when negotiations start”.
Since the Iranians have
already said that there will be no negotiations, I would
assume that the clock started when the letter was delivered.
So the good news is that
the bombing of Iran will probably not happen next month.
But if Trump is serious,
there is a very good chance that it could happen before
the midpoint of this year.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainians
just conducted an absolutely massive drone strike on
a Russian strategic bomber airfield that is located
hundreds of miles from the front lines…
Ukrainian forces backed
by Western munitions and technology struck a major Russian
strategic bomber airfield on Thursday with drones, 435
miles from the Ukrainian front lines.
The strike ignited a massive
explosion and sent a huge blast of fire into the air
at Engels-2 airbase in Russia.
Videos posted by Reuters
showed a huge blast spreading out from the airfield
and wrecking nearby cottages.
Russia reportedly called
this the largest drone attack ever.
The Ukrainians keep trying
to provoke the Russians into doing something really
dramatic.
One of these days, the
Ukrainians might just succeed.
The Russians are fed up
with the government in Kyiv. If negotiations with Trump
fail, I expect the Russians to bring down the hammer.
We really are right on
the verge of an apocalyptic conflict with Russia, and
we really are right on the verge of an apocalyptic conflict
in the Middle East.
The final exit ramps for
both of these conflicts are rapidly approaching, and
so let us hope that global leaders make very wise decisions
in the months ahead.
